Unrealistic expectations can lead to disappointment for everyone involved. While dogs are cherished members of our families, it's important to remember that they are not human and perceive the world differently. Each year, around 200 scientific papers are published on canine mental abilities. The general consensus is that dogs typically possess the mental capacity of a three-year-old child. By adjusting your expectations accordingly, you can help ensure your beloved pet's behavioural success. 🐾💓

If you need support for pet behaviour problems or to adjust your pet's mental health, Kalmpets is standing by. Contact us here: https://bit.ly/3Sv5jZr

July is and with some not so purr-fect facts circulating we’ve gathered the most common myths and debunked them.

🐾 Myth 1: Pets should have one litter before being desexed

Fact: There’s no evidence to support this! In fact, having a litter can pose risks like pregnancy complications and birthing difficulties. Desexing before their second heat can nearly eliminate the risk of mammary cancer.

Chickens have some pretty clever ways of beating the winter chill, but they may still need your help. Like all birds, chickens use their feathers for insulation by fluffing them up and trapping the air. But for the times when nature is hard to predict, good pet care involves providing appropriate refuge.

❄️Insulation❄️
In cold parts of Australia, you could insulate your chicken coop with tree branches, cardboard, or straw. Care should be taken if hay or straw is used for insulation, as these can become infested with mold and vermin and carry chicken parasites. Also, remember to keep the insulation tidy. Keeping the coop clean and dry is essential as most bacteria, fungi, and parasites thrive in warm, moist environments.

☀️Warmer climates☀️
If you live in one of the warmer Australian states then you probably won’t need to install insulation in your chicken coop at all. Open, ventilated coops are more important. Learn more tips on coop setup on our website, or alternatively, visit your local Greencross Vets for expert advice.

Winter is here! We feel it's going to be a super cold one, and chances are if you are feeling cold your furry friend is too.

Here are some ways to keep your pet warm in the Winter:

💚Keep your pet inside
💚Provide a warm, soft, elevated bed
💚Warm coats are great for pets that are senior, small or have thin coats
💚Move your guinea pigs hutch inside the house or garage
💚Provide extra straw and hay so small pets can burrow and hide
💚Keep all bedding dry
💚Wrap a loose blanket over your pet, but don’t tuck them in. They still need to be able to move away from it if they overheat
💚Walk your furry friend during the day when it’s not as cold

🚨 Attention Pet Owners! 🚨

Emergency and Specialty Vets are sounding the alarm about the rise in paralysis ticks affecting our pets. 🐾 With the unseasonal warmth lingering into autumn and rain, the conditions are ripe for these dangerous pests.
At Animal Referral Hospital (ARH) Gosford, several beloved pets have tragically lost their lives due to severe tick paralysis. Dr. Natashia Evans, an Emergency and Critical Care Specialist at ARH Gosford, emphasises the importance of year-round parasite prevention, even as we transition into winter.

Skipping prevention can lead to devastating consequences.
Even a delay of just one or two days can put your pet at risk. Set reminders, and if in doubt, administer prevention a couple of days early.

Pet owners are urged to perform daily tick checks, as early detection can save lives.

For emergency assistance, contact your nearest animal hospital: https://www.emergencyvet.com.au/contact-us.html

I’m going to read her book. This article covers a tiny bit of what we do and it is thoughtfully written. I don’t like talking about taxes. Births are amazing. Death is probably an area where we can improve humanity, by changing our attitudes and choices as a society/species.

After a decision to spare her further interventions, she lives a full two months more – and teaches us a few things along the way

💚 As winter sets in and the temperature drops, vets often see an increase in arthritis cases in both young and old animals. Sadly, the majority of these pets go undiagnosed and untreated as their owners don’t understand the reality of this condition. However, pets experience real pain with arthritis, comparable to the pain experienced by humans with this disease.

💚 Early detection and proactive treatment are essential to ensure your pet’s comfort and quality of life as they age.

💚 If you would like to know more, contact your local Greencross Vets for more information.

Insurance can be so helpful. Knose are doing their best to as they say - make it easy. If you have a puppy then starting insurance as early as possible is the best option.
